About me
Extensive experience working with children of all ages including newborns, often alongside GPs and Paediatricians, using Functional and blood test results in my practise. I am a major advocate of gut microbiome health, particularly in paediatric gut and it's influence in gut -skin, gut -immune system and gut -mind connection.

I offer full support to parents, giving them the tools and knowledge to support their children's health through dietary advice and nutritional plans.

My other passion is women's health and fertility. Without a doubt nutrition is the foundation for a healthy pregnancy and baby. I offer full pre- natal, during pregnancy and post partum support to women.

I believe in evidence-based practice bringing conventional science together with a holistic functional medicine approach.
